THE NEW CATALOGUE 



The following communication, Dated March 15, 1921, from 

 J Hopper Bowles, Chairman of the Final Committee of Re- 

 view, selected by the full Committee of twenty-five, who have 

 charge of the new price list, shows that some progress is being 

 made in the production of this Catalogue for which all 

 Oologists are indeed truly thankful. 



The Editor stands ready to arrange for the publication of 

 this, as soon as the manuscript is delivered to him, and we 

 had hoped to get it off the press in time to be used for tlie 

 1921 exchanges. 



— R. M. BARNES, Editor 



"I am glad to be able to report that I finished averaging 

 the price lists for the final values of the new egg catalog some 

 days ago, and have sent them on to Messrs. Harlow and Wil- 

 lard for tlieir consideration. We have been very greatly de- 

 layed by th e slowness in wliich the committeemen sent in their 

 valuation lists, but that is all over now and I am most en- 

 thusiastic over the prospects for the catalog, which I am sure 

 will please all except the few who always want to get rare 

 eggs for little or nothing. We have felt that a good price 

 cught to be put on especial rarities so as to induce collectors 

 to go after them. Tlie whole country is put on an even basis, 

 and not one-sided as has been the case with most catalogs." 



—J. HOOPER BOWLES.
